Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0027] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides a forklift pallet connector that is easy to lock. The forklift pallet connector includes a fork 100 and a pallet component 200. The pallet component 200 locks the pallet and the fork 100 together to prevent the goods from falling off or being damaged due to sliding or tilting during the handling process.

[0030] Specifically, the pallet component 200 is disposed on the surface of the fork 100 and includes a placement plate 201 movably connected to the top of the fork 100. A first support block 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate 201 and is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the placement plate 201. A second support block 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement plate 201 and is located in the middle of the placement plate 201. The placement plate 201 is supported by the first support block 202 and the second support block 203, so that it and the placement plate 201 form a complete pallet.

[0031] A connecting mechanism 204 is installed on the second support block 203. The connecting mechanism 204 includes a first groove 204a opened in the second support block 203. A limiting member 204c and a driving member 204d are respectively installed in the first groove 204a and are installed on the second support block 203. Through the setting of the connecting mechanism 204, when the fork 100 is inserted into the pallet, the pallet and the fork 100 can be connected. There are two situations. The first situation is that when the fork 100 is inserted into the pallet, when the pallet is lifted, the limiting rod 204c-2 on the limiting member 204c is aligned with the limiting hole on the fork 100 and is directly inserted into the limiting hole to complete the connection.

[0032] The second method involves the limiting rod 204c-2 on the limiting member 204c not being aligned with the limiting hole on the fork 100 when the pallet is lifted after the fork 100 is inserted into it. If the pallet moves on the fork 100 and the limiting rod 204c-2 is aligned with the limiting hole, the limiting rod 204c-2 will be inserted into the limiting hole under the action of the first spring 204c-3, thus limiting and fixing the pallet and the fork 100.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figures 2-5 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the previous embodiment.

[0035] Specifically, the limiting component 204c includes a first trapezoidal block 204c-1 slidably connected within the first groove 204a. By setting the first trapezoidal block 204c-1, when the pressing block 204d-1 moves upward to press it, it can move, thereby driving the limiting rod 204c-2 to move into the second support block 203, so that the fork 100 can be smoothly inserted into the pallet.

[0036] The second support block 203 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 204c-2 and fixedly connected to the first trapezoidal block 204c-1. The limiting rod 204c-2 passes through the second support block 203 and is slidably connected to it. The end of the limiting rod 204c-2 away from the first trapezoidal block 204c-1 is chamfered. The chamfering allows the limiting rod 204c-2 to be inserted into the limiting hole more smoothly.

[0037] One end of the limiting rod 204c-2 is fitted with a first spring 204c-3, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the surface of the first trapezoidal block 204c-1 and the inner wall of the first groove 204a, respectively. With the setting of the first spring 204c-3, when the pressing block 204d-1 moves upward to press the first trapezoidal block 204c-1, it is stretched. When the pressing block 204d-1 gradually separates from the first trapezoidal block 204c-1, it provides power for the reset of the limiting rod 204c-2 and the first trapezoidal block 204c-1, so that when the limiting rod 204c-2 is aligned with the limiting hole, the limiting rod 204c-2 can be smoothly inserted into the limiting hole.

[0038] The fork 100 is provided with a limiting hole that cooperates with the limiting rod 204c-2. The limiting rod 204c-2 is inserted into the limiting hole. A fork 100 is provided with multiple limiting holes, and the spacing corresponds to the multiple limiting rods 204c-2 on the second support block 203.

[0039] The driving component 204d includes an extrusion block 204d-1 slidably connected within the first groove 204a, and its surface is in contact with the surface of the first trapezoidal block 204c-1. The extrusion block 204d-1 can extrude the first trapezoidal block 204c-1, causing the first trapezoidal block 204c-1 to move the limiting rod 204c-2, which moves into the second support block 203. A square post 204d-2 is slidably connected to the second support block 203 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the extrusion block 204d-1. The square post 204d-2 penetrates the second support block 203 and is slidably connected to it. The square post 204d-2 can guide and limit the extrusion block 204d-1.

[0040] A second spring 204d-3 is fitted on the upper end of the square column 204d-2, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the bottom of the extrusion block 204d-1 and the inner wall of the first groove 204a, respectively. With the setting of the second spring 204d-3, when the pallet is placed on the ground, the rubber pad 204d-5 contacts the ground. Under the action of the pallet's gravity, the second support block 203 moves downward on the square column 204d-2, thereby causing the extrusion block 204d-1 to extrude and move the first trapezoidal block 204c-1, thereby causing the limiting rod 204c-2 to move into the second support block 203.

[0041] As the pallet moves down, the abutment plate 204d-4 and rubber pad 204d-5 move into the groove at the bottom of the second support block 203, so that the bottom of the second support block 203 and the first support block 202 contact the ground. This allows the limiting rod 204c-2 to retract into the second support block 203 when the pallet is placed on the ground, so that the forks 100 can smoothly insert into or detach from the pallet. The lower end of the square post 204d-2 is fixedly connected to the abutment plate 204d-4, and the bottom of the abutment plate 204d-4 is fixedly connected to the rubber pad 204d-5. The abutment plate 204d-4 increases the contact area with the ground, and the rubber pad 204d-5 increases the friction and provides protection.

[0042] The connecting mechanism 204 also includes a second groove 204b formed in the second support block 203 and connected to the first groove 204a. An emergency component 204e is installed in the second groove 204b and is disposed on the surface of the pressing block 204d-1. A pressing component 204f is installed in the second groove 204b and is disposed on the surface of the emergency component 204e. With the emergency component 204e and the pressing component 204f, when the limiting rod 204c-2 cannot move into the second support block 203 when placing the pallet, in special circumstances, the limiting rod 204c-2 can be moved into the second support block 203 by manual operation, so that the forks 100 can be smoothly inserted into the pallet or pulled out of the pallet.

[0043] Emergency component 204e includes a movable plate 204e-1 slidably connected within the second groove 204b. A second trapezoidal block 204e-2 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 204e-1. The surface of the second trapezoidal block 204e-2 contacts the surface of the pressing block 204d-1. The pressing block 204d-1 is provided with an inclined surface. With this configuration, when the second trapezoidal block 204e-2 moves to press the pressing block 204d-1, it can smoothly press the pressing block 204d-1 to move upward, thereby pressing and pushing the first trapezoidal block 204c-1 to move.

[0044] A third spring 204e-3 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second trapezoidal block 204e-2, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second groove 204b. With the setting of the third spring 204e-3, when the moving plate 204e-1 drives the second trapezoidal block 204e-2 to move, the spring 204e-3 deforms, providing power for the reset of the second trapezoidal block 204e-2 and the moving plate 204e-1.

[0045] The inner wall of the second groove 204b is provided with a limiting groove 204e-4. The bottom of the moving plate 204e-1 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 204e-5, which is slidably connected in the limiting groove 204e-4. The limiting block 204e-5 cooperates with the limiting groove 204e-4. Through the setting of the limiting groove 204e-4 and the limiting block 204e-5, the moving plate 204e-1 is guided and limited, so that it can move within a certain range.

[0046] The pressing component 204f includes a pedal 204f-1 slidably connected to the second groove 204b. A pressing block 204f-2 is fixedly connected to the pedal 204f-1. Both ends of the moving plate 204e-1 and one end of the pressing block 204f-2 are chamfered. With this setting, when the pedal 204f-1 moves down and drives the pressing block 204f-2 to move down, the pressing block 204f-2 can squeeze the moving plate 204e-1, thereby causing the moving plate 204e-1 to move and drive the second trapezoidal block 204e-2 to move.

[0047] A fourth spring 204f-3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pedal 204f-1. The lower end of the fourth spring 204f-3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second groove 204b. The fourth spring 204f-3 compresses the pedal 204f-1 when it moves down. When the pedal 204f-1 loses its force, it moves up to reset.

[0048] The second groove 204b has a guide groove 204f-4. A guide block 204f-5 is fixedly connected to the pedal 204f-1 and is slidably connected in the guide groove 204f-4. The guide block 204f-5 cooperates with the guide groove 204f-4. Through the setting of the guide groove 204f-4 and the guide block 204f-5, the pedal 204f-1 can be guided and limited, while preventing the pedal 204f-1 from detaching from the second support block 203.

[0049] When in use, when the pallet is placed on the ground, the rubber pad 204d-5 contacts the ground. Under the action of the pallet's gravity, the second support block 203 moves downward on the square post 204d-2, causing the second spring 204d-3 to stretch. This causes the pressing block 204d-1 to move upward and press the first trapezoidal block 204c-1, thereby causing the limiting rod 204c-2 to move into the second support block 203. As the pallet moves downward, the abutment plate 204d-4 and the rubber pad 204d-5 move into the groove at the bottom of the second support block 203, so that the bottoms of the second support block 203 and the first support block 202 contact the ground.

[0050] Insert the fork 100 between the second support block 203 and the first support block 202. The pallet and the goods on it are lifted by the fork 100. When the limiting rod 204c-2 is aligned with the limiting hole on the fork 100, it is directly inserted into the limiting hole to complete the connection. If the limiting rod 204c-2 is not aligned with the limiting hole on the fork 100, and the pallet tilts on the fork 100, the limiting rod 204c-2 can be moved slightly to align with the limiting hole. Under the action of the first spring 204c-3 and the second spring 204d-3, the corresponding structure is reset, and the limiting rod 204c-2 is inserted into the limiting hole to limit and fix the pallet and the fork 100.

[0051] During transfer and placement, similarly, contact with the ground causes the limiting rod 204c-2 to disengage from the limiting hole on the fork 100, allowing the fork 100 to be removed from the pallet. In special circumstances, applying pressure to the pedal 204f-1 and moving it downwards can cause the pressing block 204f-2 to move downwards, squeezing the moving plate 204e-1 to move it, which in turn causes the second trapezoidal block 204e-2 to move and squeeze the pressing block 204d-1 to move. The pressing block 204d-1 moves upwards and squeezes the first trapezoidal block 204c-1 to move, causing the limiting rod 204c-2 to disengage from the limiting hole on the fork 100.

[0052] In summary, the connecting mechanism 204 facilitates the locking of the forklift forks 100 and the pallet. Compared with the prior art, it achieves fixation when the forks 100 lift the pallet, preventing goods from falling off or being damaged due to slippage or tilting during handling. It also achieves the locking and unlocking when the pallet is placed, allowing for continuous operation.

[0053] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
